Subject: Re: Using Ruby to Invest in the Market?

I'd suggest InteractiveBrokers.com  They offer a Java based API.
I've read that Java and Ruby play well together so you might want
to look into that.

I like them more for their commissions on option contracts.
They charge $1 per contract which is about the same as
optionsxpress.com
but optionsxpress forces you to trade 10 contracts to get the $1 price.

10 contracts corresponds to 1,000 shares of stock which is too large of
a bet for most programmers.
